Eureka it has arrived

Yes my EurekaZone EZ-Smart System has arrived to include Smart Home owner system but with the longer guide system 1 bar 64" & 1 bar 50" a nice Hitachi Saw & the Smart Square. This should make cutting full sized sheet good in a small shop EZ'er.

That's the same system I have, only I use a Makita saw. It's a super system for breaking down plywood in the driveway before bringing it into the shop and onto the tablesaw.

I also bought a 36" rail to use for smaller cuts - just make the system a bit handier.

Please tell us more! I've still got a ton of sheet goods to cut up for built ins, and a birthday coming up. Trying to decide between a 100" EZ smart and a festool. Really tired of cutting all the sheet parts 1/2" long, and then trimming 1/4" off each side on the table saw. So, 200, plus the price of a new handheld, vs. 560, plus the price of a longer guide. I know there are lots of ezsmart enthusiasts, and the people who have festools love those. Tough call, really, especially since I've never owned a top of the line tool.

All that to say: tell us more about what you got, and why, and what you'll use it for...

If you have a good saw,and dust collection is not that important, then the EZ system should be given a hard look.

For me, I had a really crappy circular saw, and, in the Dungeon, dust collection is really important, so that swayed me to the Festool system. Was it expensive, you bet, but over a life time of use, it is not that expensive, IMHO, and every time I use the Festool system, I really enjoy it, and it puts a smile on my face.

BTW, if your circular saw has no DC port, they can often be modified to do a fairly decent job of getting the dust, not as good as a designed system, but still fairly good.

Cheers!
